| Author's biography |
| Flemish marine painter and satirical poet. He was virtually the only noteworthy practitioner in the genre in his country, seascapes being much more a Dutch than a Flemish speciality. In his early works Peeters was influenced by Dutch masters such as Simon de Vlieger, but later he tended to introduce elaborate motifs and bright colour in a decorative vein less impressive than his earlier style. Various other members of the family were artists, including his sister Catharina (1615-76), a seascape and still-life painter, and the brothers Jan (1624-72) and Gillis (1612-53), but Clara Peeters (1594-1657), an outstanding Antwerp still-life painter was no relation. In 1639 he painted a picture of the Siege of Calloo (with his brother Gillis) for the municipal authorities at Antwerp. |
